Former Value Giant Drug Store located at 680 South State St. in Ukiah,CA. The Value Giant chain was acquired by Payless Drug in the late 1970's which then over the following months of the acquisition began to rebrand the stores under the Payless name. This specific store remained a Rite Aid (we all know the Thrifty/Payless merger) until Fall 2008 when a newly constructed Rite Aid was built in front of the former store seen here.

TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE
The idea behind Magic, and Mind Magic in particular, is that the tricks are just as much about what you don't see as what you do see. They are about what you're not aware of at any one time and what that means. Psychologists and neuroscientists have for some time known that there is much to learn from the ideas, tools and techniques used by magicians, but it is not just psychologists that can learn from it, we can all gain from the insights by looking at the mind magician's toolbox. The skills and ideas are transferable across in a wide range of disciplines.
WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT WHAT YOU GET
If we actually saw everything our eyes take in the world would be a very chaotic place for us. It is our mind that processes what the eyes take in and produces the carefully constructed illusions that we take as reality. V.S. Ramachandran (Prominent neuroscientist and author of Phantoms in the Brain and The Telltale Brain) suggests that: "what you 'see' is reliable, but not always an accurate representation of what exists in the world"
Neuroscience shows us that deliberate practice of working with illusions improves our perceptual abilities and our cognitive reappraisals. Understanding that all is not as it appears is a big step in developing the skill of cognitive reappraisal, which is vital to our resilience. To learn more about illusions, neruoscience and perception, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/
DISTORTING FACES ILLUSION
If we are armed with an insight and an understanding of how we experience the world, and how our visual processes can be misled we are in a much stronger position to make judgements and decisions and think through situations where our brains may get it wrong. We become more resilient make better decisions and are less open to being misled.
Take a look at this illusion which shows what happens when you focus on the cross. People have been really shocked at what they see happening. Let me know what you think. To see the video, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/#Faces and click the FIFTH tab.
NOVELTY AND MARVIN THE ROBOT
Regardless of your current situation, you are aware that you have a lot more potential. A way forward that comes from the neuroscience of leadership is to introduce something novel into your mix, this is precisely what the Sleight of Mind Set day is all about. The overall idea is that by its very nature, learning Mind Magic is novel to many people, as are the tools and techniques used in it. It is about creating a new perspective, seeing your world from a different angle and raising your level through embracing novelty.
Your ability to be able to respond to the new is part of you. This ability is vital to your creativity, innovation and leadership. Evolutionary psychologists tell us that we are novelty seeking, as this is a trait that gives a survival advantage. This is brilliantly highlighted by Douglas Adams in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Marvin the Robot has an IQ of 50,000 times more than humans, as he says: "A brain the size of a planet", however he doesn't get to use it much, as he says:
"The first ten million years were the worst, and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third ten million years I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline."
He needs novelty. Boredom is his enemy, and yours too, we need novelty for our wellbeing. Novelty engages us. When we put our ideas across, people expect us to deliver a fulfilling experience to them. The only way to do this is to be unique, to be different and embrace novelty. Using the ideas from Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic is certainly one route to understanding and doing this. Using these ideas and by Showing and Not Telling, you get a very powerful method to get your ideas across. For more on the power of novelty, please look at www.mindsways.com/SMS/
EMPIRE OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
It'd be easy to think that illusions are amusing, self contained and simple tricks that only occur on screen or during magic performances. Easy, but wrong. Illusions play a crucial role in being both entertaining and in revealing fascinating and wonderful insights in to your psychology and your mind.
Illusions show us we miss things that are there, that sometimes we see things which aren't there, they show how quickly we jump to conclusions or miss important details, that our experiences are subject to our senses and not the other way around. They also show that there are great opportunities to experience something new, that we haven't reached the end of our learning and that there are ways of control what we see.
These flaws in our thinking lead us to our own Empire of the Impossible; a vast expanse of unexplored possibilities full of passion and energy. On the Sleight of Mind Set workshops, we give you a way of discovering these brand new territories. You will learn how to:
Embrace wonder and mystery
Capture and direct attention
Create amazement and applause
Communicate your passion and personality
Stimulate powerful new thoughts
Challenge beliefs in a safe and positive way
Produce laughter, attraction and interest
Enhance your and other's cognitive fitness
Entertain, engage with and enchant crowds of people in simple and straightforward ways
Generate extraordinary moments for you and everyone else
By learning about Mind Magic and Psychological Artistry, you are tapping in to a rich and deep pull for mystery, surprise and magic. Combining this with what you do makes for truly wonderful and amazing moments that you can use to promote who you are, what you do and why you do it. For more information, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/
UNIQUELY UNIVERSAL
There are many ways of standing out, creating an impact for people and making a difference. What makes the Sleight of Mind Set workshops unique is that they use a rich history of Mind Magic and entertainment with cutting edge neuroscience, psychology, education, performance and smart thinking to give you a set of tools and techniques that help you grab and hold attention, create interest and engagement and create moments of amazement, wonder and mystery.
On the day, you get a wide assortment of tricks from the SMS kit, you get the SNT kit with its impressive collection of mind-bending materials and its 2 hour DVD, giving you the back-story of the materials and training you in how to use them. You will also get taught a number of distinct tricks outside of the kits which all have notes, scripts and theories associated with them. You'll learn why all of these materials have such a great affect on people and how you can use them in any situation. To learn more, please click or go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/
SCARCE RESOURCES - DIFFERENCE AND ATTENTION
Being an effective communicator has very little to do with what you have to say, and everything to do with what people say about you. Psychological Artistry, the Sleight of Mind Set workshop and the SNT kit provokes you into becoming the talking point of a conversation. It's impossible to escape the force of impact that floating a note with your bear hands gives you when united with your compelling message.
By using the right techniques, anyone can:
Capture and maintain attention
Become more engaging
Demonstrate psychological value
Create meaningful interactions
Are you looking to learn something different that you can use in your delivery? Are you also looking for that rare thing that's new, engaging and makes you stand out? On the Sleight of Mind Set Workshop, we will give you the tools, ideas and materials that capture the scarcest resource we have in today's world: attention.
The aim of the day is to;
Teach you the mind magic effects
Stimulate thought
Stimulate reflection
Inform
Create actions
Get you to think anew and build anew
Learn about the importance of 'Personal Touch'

NHS Values Summits bring together a diverse range of people and perspectives to foster greater understanding of how peoples' differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
Held on a quarterly basis across the country, each summit promotes values-based ways of working and explores a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights.
The theme of this NHS Values Summit, held on 18th September 2013, was entitled 'Making it happen in Greater Manchester: Integrated care across organisations'. Patient-centred care that is well co-ordinated across care settings and over time is better for all but can particularly benefit patients with long-term, chronic or complex conditions and those who may find it difficult to 'navigate' the health care system.
The Greater Manchester summit was held during National Recovery Month. This provided an opportunity for people to share their recovery stories with others and celebrate their successes, promoting the benefits of prevention, treatment and recovery for those experiencing mental health or substance misuse issues.
As a celebration of shared learning and partnership working, NHS England is pleased to welcome patients and the public, representatives from health and social care, and stakeholders from the private and voluntary/community sectors to these important events.

In May of 2005 a UP local job is switching the True Value paint factory in Cary, IL. Soon rail service would end to this plant. It later became Fox Valley Systems and closed after a fire in 2013.
For more information about rail served industries along the Chicago & North Western (and later UP) Harvard Subdivision (aka Metra Northwest Line) please see my all-time listing of customers. It goes from Clybourn Junction to the Wisconsin border.

In the Young Women organization of the LDS church, girls age 12-18 years old are encouraged to set worthwhile goals, and complete projects in each of 8 categories. Each of those categories, or values, is assigned a color.
White = Faith
Blue = Divine Nature
Red = Individual Worth
Green = Knowledge
Orange = Choice and Accountability
Yellow = Good Works
Purple = Integrity
Gold = Virtue
I have the privilege of working with the fine young women in our congregation, and I made this for them.
